Refit - Thanks (r)eVolve
« on: January 10, 2015, 05:37:24 PM »
To start off, I already had a pretty good fit, I feel like fit is something I understand well.  (r)eVolve from Rico and Gary Yamasaki got really deep into fit, and put some things in ways that tweaked my thinking a bit and mostly gave me a lot more information than I previously had.  I refit myself and as comfortable as it was before, now it feels unnaturally good.  Here is my before and after:

Previous:
4 5/16 x 4 3/8, MF - 3/8 rev, 1/8 left, RF - 3/8 rev, 5/8 right, thumb 0 any direction

New: 4 1/4 x 4 5/16, MF 5/8 rev, 3/8 left, RF - 5/8 rev, 3/8 right, thumb 1/8 fwd, 1/16 left. 

Now my hand sits on the ball even better, it's in a lot better position.  Extremely comfortable.  Like Rico has said to me, feel is everything.

If you had stress on your hand at zero you needed to go more than an eighth

I didn't say anything about what you know.  Apparently you have not been dealing with the average pro shop customer lately.

Lighten up Francis.

What does the average or non average person have to do with any of this? No 1/8" worked great. The flexibility in those two fingers aren't horrible but 0 was two much. With my span and thumb pitch changing the fingers opened up the angles and as stated felt a lot better.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Well, keep them people obsessing over those sixteenths so you can sell more books.

Nope, just my fair share.  But I'm not arrogant enough to tell someone that has a span a sixteenth different from what I would measure that it is wrong.

I don't believe anyone said anyone was wrong but you...feel is individual and should be based on that...and if you don't believe a 1/16 or 1/8" is a big deal in fitting you are the one that is delusional...I don't know everything but I know quite a bit due to the many varying individuals I have fit and continue to fit and base my comments and writings off those experiences

OK, I'm delusional and you are the expert because you wrote a book on a totally subjective subject.

You're the one that chooses to discount 1-16-1/8" in feel...

It may be subjective but there are basis which apparently you choose to also discount

Send it.  If I feel it's well written I'll pay for it.
